Lou Pucci, Tilda Swinton, Vince Vaughn, Vincent D’Onofrio, Keanu Reeves, Benjamin Bratt, Kelli Garner. That’s all I know about this Sony film. From IMDB reviewer:


“Thumbsucker is a brilliant coruscating film!, 31 January 2005
10/10

Author: phaedra_pardue from United States




Lou Pucci delivers an amazing performance that wins him best actor at Sundance in this coming-of-age story of a thumb sucker. The film is delicate and hardcore all at the same time, a masterpiece of cinematography. Mike Mills has made his mark directing his first feature film. Performances by the rest of the all-star cast are stellar. Keanu Reeves plays the new age orthodontist effortlessly, Tilda Swinton has the perfect combination of a needy woman with nerves of steel, Vince Vaughn and Vincent D’Onfrio both play roles you wouldn’t expect but nail them completely. Benjamin Bratt shows his range as a gorgeous hunk of a TV star with an addiction that takes him to the dark side (and hey, check out that love interest-the beautiful brunette) Highly recommended “


It’s a novel too.

Japanese anime killer video terrordome style. Go get it.

From IGN:

“Capcom’s Killer 7 is one of the most stylized games to hit consoles in years. The surrealistic psychological adventure takes players on a journey through psychedelic cel-shaded worlds drenched in adult themes, from blood-splattering gore to in-game sex. Gamers must become the seven deadly personalities of Harmon Smith, a wheelchair bound assassin and schizophrenic, in order to fight off a terrorist organization of exploding zombie-like beings. Clearly this is not a game for the younger market.



With a never-before-attempted mergence of style and function – Killer 7 blends third-person exploration, first-person shooting and puzzle solving, but emphasizes story-telling above all else – Capcom’s game is just as much about mood as anything else. Aiding that goal is a unique and highly unpredictable soundtrack that matches the twisting, turning storyline.”

I love the typography on these three sites—webreakstuff, artypapers, and Elliott Back.

Chinese blogger Furong Jiejie (芙蓉姐姐) also known as Hibiscus Older Sister, Sister Hibiscus, or Sister Furong is the center of attention of the Chinese government—they’re trying to erase her presense on the internet.

From Wired:

“Sister Furong started the craze by posting pictures of herself—draped back-down over a stone ball, bent at the knees with her chest thrust out suggestively and in other poses—on internet bulletin boards of two top Beijing universities to which she had tried but failed to gain entrance.



The shots, and accompanying captions and passages she wrote proclaiming her own beauty and talent, became a campus sensation.



But when her cult status began to sweep the whole country, Beijing stepped in.



“They’ve cracked down on me,” Sister Furong, a 28-year-old girl next door whose real name is Shi Hengxia, told Reuters.



In late July, authorities told the country’s top blog host to move Furong-related content to low-profile parts of the site. Her pictures can still be found online, but links to them and chatrooms about her have disappeared from the front pages of major web portals.”

If you wanna be cool you gotta have break dancers at your party. Too bad the last time breaking was in was in the 80s. Anyway, checkout these younstas—artists, fashionistas, etc.


“Through Jen’s words: “We are a collective of artists with a common interest to entertain and inspire through an open, creative environment.” Five bucks to get in each night that went for spirits. Which was what it took to preview the fine works at open end. The artists keep all the money for sales I I got pictures of it all!” [Their site sucks]

Dope

Beastie Boys released some songs in acappella—time for some major mashups. They trying to be like Jay Z—just 2 years later. Maybe you can mash Beasties with Smoky Robinson.

Has anyone seen Google Current on Al Gore’s Current TV? It sounds really interesting—I gotta check Comcast tonight. Pie me Flickr babay.


“Google Current,” built using samplings of popular Google search data, including from Google Zeitgeist, complements the free-flowing pod format with news updates each half-hour. Thirty seconds to three minutes in length, these segments buck conventional news practices by reporting not on what media editors decide is “news,” but on the topics people are actually searching for right now. So news isn’t what the network thinks you should know, but what the world is searching to learn.”
